Materials Needed

Before we get started, let’s gather the materials you’ll need:

Yarn: Choose a cotton yarn, as it’s absorbent and durable. I have used 4 ply yarn. You can choose any colours of your choice . However, I have used white, light pink and pink coloured yarn.
Crochet Hook: Always use a hook size that matches your yarn. I always prefer using 3 mm hook with a 4 ply yarn!! However you can choose any hooke size between 2.5 mm to 4 mm.
Scissors and ofcourse Yarn Needle (for weaving in the ends).
